Patent number: 11238634Abstract: In some embodiments, a motion model refinement system receives an input video depicting a human character and an initial motion model describing motions of individual joint points of the human character in a three-dimensional space. The motion model refinement system identifies foot joint points of the human character that are in contact with a ground plane using a trained contact estimation model. The motion model refinement system determines the ground plane based on the foot joint points and the initial motion model and constructs an optimization problem for refining the initial motion model. The optimization problem minimizes the difference between the refined motion model and the initial motion model under a set of plausibility constraints including constraints on the contact foot joint points and a time-dependent inertia tensor-based constraint. The motion model refinement system obtains the refined motion model by solving the optimization problem.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2020Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Jimei Yang, Davis Rempe, Bryan Russell, Aaron Hertzmann

Patent number: 11227362Abstract: Aspects include a multistage collector to receive outputs from plural processing elements. Processing elements may comprise (each or collectively) a plurality of clusters, with one or more ALUs that may perform SIMD operations on a data vector and produce outputs according to the instruction stream being used to configure the ALU(s). The multistage collector includes substituent components each with at least one input queue, a memory, a packing unit, and an output queue; these components can be sized to process groups of input elements of a given size, and can have multiple input queues and a single output queue. Some components couple to receive outputs from the ALUs and others receive outputs from other components. Ultimately, the multistage collector can output groupings of input elements. Each grouping of elements (e.g., at input queues, or stored in the memories of component) can be formed based on matching of index elements.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2020Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: Imagination Technologies LimitedInventors: James Alexander McCombe, Steven John Clohset, Jason Rupert Redgrave, Luke Tilman Peterson
